Château Gaillard is a royal estate located in Amboise, in the Loire Valley. Built in 1496 by Charles VIII, the château is a true jewel of the French Renaissance. After five years of restoration, it has opened its doors to the public and now offers a unique experience. The château is surrounded by magnificent gardens, bearing witness to the earliest gardens of the French Renaissance. Inside, visitors can admire ornate stained-glass windows and finely carved fireplaces. Luxuriously furnished in period style, the château offers a warm, cosy atmosphere, transporting visitors back to the 16th century. The estate also has a rich history, having been home to kings such as Charles VIII, Louis XII and François I. It has also been the scene of many historic events. Château Gaillard is a must-see for history and heritage lovers.

Super château, visite guidée top (Merci Léo), les jardins sont très beaux.
L’histoire autour des agrumes est vraiment très intéressante.
La restaurant sur place autour également des agrumes vaut de s’y arrêter !

This was a charming castle a little off the beaten path in the city. We were the only visitors in the castle at the time and it was nice being able to freely walk around without having to navigate other people. The gardens are well maintained as well as the house. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area and have time.

On a failli rater cette perle dans la Loire.
Entre les jardins et toute l'histoire qui habite ce château, nous étions époustouflés devant tant de beauté. Il ne faut pas s'arrêter seulement aux grands châteaux, les plus petits gardent beaucoup d'histoire et de belles surprises.
Je recommande à 200%.
